Wow, tough one...this is all I could find: http://heraldika.org.mk/MKHerald-2.pdf Scroll to the end of the pdf and there is an english translation Cheers

Amazing:beer:

Great photo, thanks. I have a question though- when was the German workshop of Zimmermann model done? Thanks

Looks like the badge and the star are different: http://commons.wikim...28collar%29.png :whistle:

Wow, very nice group...interesting person as well:beer:

Thank you. I gave it a miss though:banger:

Ok, I did bit of research and it appears that this particular model looks like Stojan Orescanin model (not Stevan Orescanin as I thought:speechless:. He is the jeweler from who's shop the Yugoslav Order of Freedom came out-nice) The crown on this badge is different than KK and Sorlini models. However, I found out that ALL Stojan Orescanin models were marked with two marks- Serbian mark for silver and SO for the maker. In addition, the numbering on SO models should be above the number 1000 Here are few photos:

And the back I must say if it is a fake, it very well made fake. What worries me is a very low number. On top of that seller claims that the badge belonged to a Czech pilot. Any comments would be appreciated Cheers

And few more

Ok, this is the best i can get at the moment. Seller is away and he could only provide me with the photos that are little bit sharper. I cropped few details as well. It appears there is something under the top screw, looks like something broken...maybe old pin?

Thanks gentlemen, I 'll see if I can get more photos Cheers:beer:

Hi there, could somebody please help me out on this one- seller is claiming that no maker marks are evident but that the badge is original. It does look good, but it could be well made fake:shame: I was under impression that only three makers were producing this badge- Kovnica Sorlini-Varazdin, Karnet Kysely, Prague and Stevan Orescanin-Begrade, and all their work was marked. I have heard of WW2 models done in exile, but I am not so sure of those Thanks

Thanks for your reply...Looking at the ribbon chart the awards look almost like SFRJ awards...Certainly the naming is very similar...I would love to know the quantities awarded...can't imagine many were given. I doubt the quality is the same for all. The ones I have can't compare with the SFRJ IKOM examples...I posted some of them in one of my threads http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33055

Hi everyone, does anyone have liitle bit more info about Federal Republic of Yugoslavia awards? I have few of them including order of military merit III and II class and they look like SFRJ awards but with a differrent coat of arms. Does anyone know how many different awards exited during Milosevic era after the break up of SFR Yugoslavia...Thanks

Thank you...I have been keeping on...3 more beauties in my collection :rolleyes:

I think that's a silver bravery medal from the Serbo-Bugarian war 1885-1886. Haven't seen many of them on sale

Here's another one, same seller...looks authentic http://cgi.ebay.com/SERBIA-GOLD-MEDAL-FOR-...93%3A2|294%3A50

Thank you. Do you now whether it is still awarded or was it the war time issue?

Greetings, does anybody know anything about this medal/order...seller is advertising it as Republic of Srpska order, but I can't find any details about it. It looks fairly authentic Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SERBIA-REPUBLIC-OF-...%3A1|240%3A1318

Thank you very much, that sheds a bit more light on it

Thank you, this is as good of a pic as I can get it at the moment, hope it helps Cheers

Few modern insignia

Few WW2 insignia and Partizan Spomenica

Montenegro-Battle of Grahovo medals is missing the suspension but it was a bargain :rolleyes:
